For delivery, we use a corporate account on BOX (not Dropbox) in addition to Hightail.
For reliable large file transfer over long distance, you need to find someone who can rent you space on an Aspera server or Signiant Media Shuttle. (I never would have recommended Signiant in the past, but we've worked with several facilities using media shuttle and it's pretty solid.) There are some other services for this purpose, like Airship, but I haven't used them enough to vouch for them.
FTP will kill you over long distance, and the uploading entity needs a fast pipe no matter what you're sending.

I have a client shooting in Nigeria and they need to get the media to me asap (no shipping drives). I don't have an FTP site. I think Hightail and dropbox are not practical for so many huge files. Not sure how much space but shooting HD for a day and you can imagine. Does anyone here have any suggestions?
thanks
